Re: Jeep D44 4.10 gears
 

Dave is correct about our D44 using D60 style 29 spline pinion.
I have corrected my privious post.

Re: Jeep D44 4.10 gears
 

My 93 Base LT1 car came with these gears (4.09) . Caravaggio was the one who worked on it and it uses the jeep stuff. Not sure of the details. I built a high rpm LT4 and dropped down to 3.73s so I tossed it all out. Held up really well. about 7 years... hundreds of drag strip passes and hundreds more street racing. Never had an issue.

Dynomite,

I think this thread would make a great "STICKY" thanks to Dave, Phil, and 5AB.

Re: Jeep D44 4.10 gears
 

I believe that "5ABI VT" build was an earlier conventional D44 with the 26 spline and NOT the later JEEP that you mentioned. There's much that indicates that, 4.09 mainly - his D44 might have been from a Jeep application but much "older" original 216mm ring gear builds.

Re: Jeep D44 4.10 gears
 

Ok Phil. U got me at a weak moment. Ordered the MOPAR gears. Anything different about the install kit?

Re: Jeep D44 4.10 gears
 

Did you order the speedo correction gears from Marc too?

Re: Jeep D44 4.10 gears
 

No. I currently have the stock speedo gear in there and it reads ~4-5% slower now.

Re: Jeep D44 4.10 gears
 

The Viper set uses a crush sleeve for setting the pre-load on the pinion bearings.
Also, the ring gear is a bit larger and in some cases the bottom the housing requires minor clearance grinding.
Which install kit did you get?

Re: Jeep D44 4.10 gears
 

Haven't gotten one yet. That's why I asked. Not sure when I'll put the gears in.
All depends on who's available to do it and when. Thought I would take advantage of the price tho.
